Exchange Mailbox Store Limit Is Approaching Limit!

My Exchange 2003 SP2 is posting Event Id 9688 telling me that my logical database for my mailbox store is @ 36GB. Limit is 40GB. This is my DC and Exchange Server, both reside on one 40GB HD.
What can I do to decrease the size of my database? clip-image002.jpg

You can also defragment the Exchange Database using the util isinteg. The only problem with that is is that it takes a long time. About 2 hours /gigabyte depending on your servers hardware. The offline defrag may will reduce the size of the database and not og the IS.
I would go the route jakinmyfox suggests.

Offline defragment is among the solution to shrink the database size.
I would recommend you to do the offline defragmentation and apply system/mailbox manager policy to manage the mailbox size.

However if seeing this growth pattern you should start planning for more storage space and later move the database there
